slmullaneous alI..lonary Meetlnr..

SIMULTANEOUS HAisnlonAry meetings.
The Synod of New Jersey, at its last
meeting, suggested very important
movement in the interest of Foreign Mis-
sions.
Recognizing that the reason why con-
tributions to the cause are not more gem
eral is lack Of interest in it, aud that
one great reason for non-interest, among
Christians at least, is lack Conformation,
Simultaneous meetings have been ar
ranged for, all over the State, on the sec
ond Sabbath of November next and dur
ing the week following.
About sixty centres for gathering have
been designated, of which Lambertville is
one. It is suggested that, at the time
mentioned, meetings for this and neigh
boring congregations be held here; that
pastors aud other friends of foreign mis-
sions meet for conference, and it is ex-
pected that interesting speakers, sent by
the general committee, will impart such
information and present such arguments
as shall insure much deeper interest in
this, the subject which, of all Christian
work, lies nearest the heart of the Saviour
This was the theme of his last command;
the occasion of his only appearance since
his ascension to glory, to commission a
Christian worker, was in furtherance OF
this great cause.
A portion of the time designated for the
simultaneous Meetings" will be es-
pecially set apart for gatherings of the
members of the Woman's Foreign Mis-.
sionary Societies, aud it is earnestly de-
sired that such societies, always so vital
in relation to Christian life in the church
at home, as we'll as to sustained inter
est in the Lords work abroad, may be
formed in every church, or, II already or
ganized, be greatly revived.
Further mention will be made from
time to time, until the season of the grand
rallying shall come. Even to anticipate
so general an uprising of the Presbyterian
branch of the host of God to act upon tho
marching orders of our ascending Lord,
must arouse an enthusiasm which ought,
by the time Of the November Simultane-
GUS Meetings, to reach high mark and
lead to energetic labor hitherto unknown,
for the promotion of that cause, in the
success of which the Saviour can alone
see of the travail of his soul and be sat
isiied."

next taken up and on the motion of Mr.
Warman was laid over until the alter.
noon.
The County Collector notified the
Board that before the next meeting in
July more money would be needed TO
meet the county expenses. The finance
committee was authorized to give two
notes of three thousands dollars zach to
raise the needed amount.
The afternoon session opened with q
warm debate between Mr.. Warman and
Mr.. Palmer relative to the Asylum COM
mittee. At the organization Of the Board
motion was made and carried that the
Asylum committee consist Of three NOM
bers, that being considered sufficient
number. At the converting of the Board
on Wednesday motion was made and
carried that two more be added to the

A vote was next taken on granting the
privilege of erecting the pavilion, which
resulted in 10 to against the motion.
After considerable interest taken by Mr.
Palmer, Thatcher, Hartwell, Hill and
Philhower the vote was reconsidered, this
leaving the original motion stand, viz
asking the Board to grant the privilege tt

debate followed. The County Clerk and
Sheriff who had signed the petition were
reported as being against the motion

that it would darken the Clerks Office,
Mr.. Palmer remarked that it would save
money for the county, acting instead Of
stained glass, and as the Sheriff's objec.

-Children's Day was celebrated in the
Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist
Churches of city, last Sunday, in fitting
manner. Ia the NJ. e. Church the decor
ations were very beautiful and elaborate.
A large bell, heart, harp, and other
emblems, were displayed, and memorials
were also shown FOR the teachers and
scholars who had died the past year. AT
the Presbyterian and Baptist Churches,
the decorations principally consisted OF
the grouping of handsome flowers and
plants, and in both these churches the eff
feet was tasteful and neat. At all these
churches the exercises drew large audi
ences, and were of an entertaining and
instructive character.

According to the Hanterdon Demo
crat, ten years ago there were but two or
three brass bands in the county. Now
every post Office town organizes brass
band. The newest band in the county
now is one just started at Everittstown.
They received their horns last week.
While the boys are rehearsing we sup
pose there will be a decline in the price
of real estate, because everybody will
want to move away, but after awhile the
people will get used to it and learn to look
upon the band as blessing. There is
nothing that SO cheers and infuses life in
to community as good band. At pres
sent, there are ten brass bands in the
county, as follows: Frenchtown, Clinton,
Pattenburg. Milford, Eyerittstown, Ser
geantsville, Ringoes, Lebanon, White
